The Funeral (2025 Edit)

Band Of Horses has collaborated with dance music maverick GRYFFIN on an official 2025 version of the group’s double platinum, indie–rock classic ‘The Funeral.’

With the rework, GRYFFIN taps into the song’s emotional core while reimagining the nostalgia–inducing gem for the dancefloor. Like his recent album PULSE, GRYFFIN’s take on the song binds past and present influences through sound, uplifting the original’s iconic melody by injecting progressive builds, surging basslines, and four–on–the–floor percussion. The 2025 edit not only commemorates ‘The Funeral’ as it approaches its 20th anniversary, but also cements a return to GRYFFIN’s roots in indie influenced electronic music.

“We’re honored that ‘The Funeral’ could be a source of inspiration for GRYFFIN. It’s exciting to see the track take on a new life and reach new ears in a fresh and unexpected way. GRYFFIN’s incredibly talented and we’re thankful he’s brought his own perspective to a song that’s meant so much to us. It’s nice. Thanks for the fresh coat of paint, GRYFFIN!” – Band of Horses

"Anyone who’s followed me since day one knows how much indie music and my early era SoundCloud remixes helped shape my sound as an artist. Late last year, I rediscovered Band of Horses’ ‘The Funeral’, and it immediately took me back to that era. In less than 24 hours, I flipped it and sent it to the band. Since then, over the last several months I’ve been lucky enough to work with Ben and his team to bring a new vision to such a legendary song." – GRYFFIN
